How to Choose the Best Double Stroller

There are many options available in the field of double strollers. To help you pick the most suitable one for your family, we talked to the expert in child development and mom Katie Billingsley.

Look for a stroller that's reasonably easy to push, fold and carry. You should consider a stroller that can accommodate two infant car seat or a toddler who has a riderboard.

Safety

If you want to keep your kids safe on your walks make sure you choose a double stroller with features like all-terrain tires as well as a brake operated by hand. These brakes and wheels allow you to navigate trails and sand without children slipping or rolling. The best double strollers have plenty of storage space for gear and kid-sized necessities like snacks and toys.

The best double stroller for your family begins with understanding how old and far apart in age your kids are. Many double strollers only can accommodate one child's seat, but those do come with different configurations, so you can choose the seating option that best suits your kids and your lifestyle.

The classic doubles are perfect for children of similar ages that are keen to interact. Some models have a double-decker design, which allows you to put one of the seats above the other or add a rider board to older siblings. Newborns can either be snuggled in a bassinet that is attached to the frame, or in an attachment that allows you to play peek-a-boo with your baby. If you are expecting twins or already have twins and want to have a twin stroller, it is the best choice.

For families that are more adventurous, look for a double stroller that is able to handle off-road terrain or even hiking.

They come with features that will allow you to take them on any trip, no matter how rough or high the climbs might be.

In addition to all-terrain tires, the best double strollers have clever features that make traversing difficult terrain and weather a lot easier.

It also features an all-over canopy that's ventilated to keep your kids cool during the summer heat.

It weighs just over 23 lbs, making it lighter than most single strollers and perfect for air travel or storing in trunks and overhead compartments.

Seating

Contrary to the giant strollers of the past these double strollers are sleek and offer various configurations to fit families. Some of them function as traditional side-byside strollers while others--such as the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double Stroller - function as a base that car seats, toddler seats or bassinets can be plugged into. They are available in a variety of widths and weights to accommodate children from newborns through kindergarten.

A good double stroller must be a breeze to move and fold, while permitting you to alter the handlebar height so you're able to walk comfortably throughout your excursions. A good handlebar is comfortable to hold and will encourage you to walk in a safe manner (ask for advice from other parents). It should come with a variety of storage options to accommodate everything your children will require.

If your twins are near in age, you may consider a tandem stroller that works best for your family. The seats on these models are placed in a row, allowing you to interact with both of them and keep an eye on them at the same time. They can also recline independently which means that one child can nap and the other is ready to go.

The drawback of twin stroller side by side strollers is that it's larger than a single-occupant model and can make it difficult to navigate sidewalks, shop aisles and narrow doors. For certain families, the advantages are worth the extra size and effort.

If you're in the market for a compact double stroller the UPPAbaby Vista Double is a great option. The UPPAbaby Vista Double is a great choice for city dwellers due to its shock absorption capabilities, sleek design, and ability to accommodate two infant car seats. It also comes with an optional running board that can be used by older children who are mobile.

Another option is a wagon-style stroller, such as the Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller. This model is bare bones, but it offers plenty of space for storage and seating. It also has sturdy wheels to tackle any terrain. It also has a 50+ SPF canopy and adjustable handlebars. Some parents complain that the seats are too low and do not recline fully flat, which makes it difficult for little children to reach their food trays or relax.

Easy of Use

A double stroller is usually an investment of a large amount and one you're likely to use for many years. When shopping for one you must ensure that it's easy to use and clean. The best double jogging stroller strollers are designed to be user-friendly and include many convenient features.

All strollers we tested fold easily and compactly using just one hand. These strollers are lightweight and are ideal for traveling. A lot of them fit into most trunks and can be checked for gate-checking on planes. Additionally, the majority of our testers reported that their strollers folded to smaller dimensions than the single seat models, and some even came with a carry strap for convenient carrying.

The Valco Snap Duo trend is a double stroller that has lots of options that can adapt to the needs of your family. This side-byside stroller works with infant car seats and other accessories. It can be used from birth to preschool age. Each seat comes with a 5-point harness and a large canopy that provides ample shade from the sun.

The Joovy Twin Roo is another option that is highly regarded. This stroller is lightweight, compact and only 22 pounds when folded. The front seat reclines to almost the full flat position and the back seat comes with an adjustable recline for each child. There's a large storage bin and a simple, one-step linked parking brake which makes this stroller simple to move and use.

The only negatives of the Joovy Twin Roo were minor and specific to the model in question. Kerry says that the packaging was fun and clever, but that it came in five boxes that can be trouble to carry around. She also found the Genuis magnetic clasp to be somewhat awkward and took her some time before she could master it. In the end, however she was very pleased with her stroller and would highly recommend it.

Stores

Strollers come with a variety of shapes and sizes, from tandem doubles that are side-by-side to (single double stroller-file seating) styles, and a lot allow you to modify your stroller by adding a bassinet or a car seat attachment. Some have even added rider boards designed for older kids. But, they're not all created equal -- some are elegant and simple to use, while others are heavy, bulky and difficult to fold or store.

If you're looking for a light double stroller, check out the Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite. It was the lightest stroller in our tests, weighing less than 23 pounds. It folds easily and comes with all the features parents would want to enjoy a day out with two kids.

The Vista v2 double pushchairs from UPPAbaby is another model that our testers adored especially for its sleek design and user-friendly. It can accommodate two infant car seats or a toddler's seat and a bassinet without adapters. Its rear seat can be removed to make it into a quad or triple stroller. It comes with a large storage basket that can be upgraded to include an organizer for parents with wheels for all-terrain and side storage bags.

Billingsley says that the ideal double stroller for toddlers is one that offers multiple customization options, like the ability to remove a seat or a bassinet. That's because toddlers often have little endurance, so the stroller with the bassinet attachment can provide them with a safe space to rest for a nap. The expert says that a double stroller should also have a good recline position and harness system as well as plenty of storage space for snacks and toys.

The ZOE Twin+ is popular with parents due to its lightweight and flexibility. It's gate-check-friendly for airlines and fits through most doors (without taking off the front wheels) and expands into a triple or quad stroller with an add-on tandem seat. Its near-flat independently reclining seats, extra-long sun canopy and adjustable footrests are further highlights, while its spacious underseat storage area and the inclusion of parent and kid cup holders round out the impressive set of features. The only downside, according to Taylor the manufacturer, is that it doesn't have a the smallest profile when folded and can be difficult to store.
